Selectively prune search history #472

Searches related to scheduled events that have passed will typically need to be cleared, but it is not possible to do so without removing other searches that should be preserved.

Can you give an example? Also note that searches in Playlet have a cache of 15 minutes (so the same search done twice within 15 minutes will contain the same results) as an optimization, usually because search results do not change that often in just a few minutes.

When i create a new search term, the string is added to a list of recent searches (in the Search section below the Filters gadget.) Sometimes this is useful (to repeat a saved search because more new commentaries will be uploaded to YouTube as an event approaches.) But it seems that searches which are no longer needed cannot be removed from the list (in the way that you could remove bookmarks & apps with a * or a long press of the select button.)

Thanks for clarifying, now I understand, you want to delete individual search entry from the search history. Yeah currently can only clear the search history, can't delete an individual item
